oh no, those poor oppressed *check notes* cisgender heterosexual people! how will they ever get over *double checks* being able to marry the person they love and *glances again* having other people address them the way they want to be addressed!
feel free to look up the concept of “punching up” in the search engine of your choice.
setting aside the obvious part where the word I’m talking about doesn’t refer to actual physical act of punching (perhaps actually look it up, maybe?) - of course, you’re completely right, suffragettes won the right to vote sheerly by peaceful and quiet protests, and the Pride movement has got roots in a well-known event called “the Stonewall campfire sing-along”.
I don’t find your sarcasm, bad faith, and dismissal of a serious concern, to be compatible with a constructive conversation. If you feel like ditching that, please come again.
You come into a space trying to tone police, arguing with people about how to fight for rights, then get mad when they are a little sarcastic to you? Wow
Does that make it acceptable, or worthwhile of discussing? I don’t think so.
They didn’t want to discuss, they wanted you to put in a modicum of effort to go look up some easily attainable information. You are the one that tried to tone police, so being met with moderate sarcasm is the least bad thing that could have happened
Disagree
K. Good luck sticking your nose in places it doesn’t belong then getting upset when people don’t appreciate it

Thanks for the search suggestion, and let me return the favor: look up how people end up after all the fistfights and wars all around the world.
No right has been ever won by punching.

Where by “a little”, you mean every single sentence? No, thanks.
Not every single sentence and also they could have been way worse, especially since you are way out of pocket here.

Disagree.
